I Love New York

By now everyone knows the story of Mitt Romney's misadventures with his dog Seamus. Here is a quick refresher if you don't...

21 years ago Mitt Romney and his clan set out on a 12-hour drive from Massachusetts to Canada. Not wanting the dog in the car Mitt decided to Romney put Seamus the Irish Setter in a crate fastened to the roof of the car. Despite the fact the Romney's have claimed Seamus loved roof rides, during this particular trip the dog suffered a bout of diarrhea that forced Romney to pull over and hose off the dog as well as the car.

That brings us to today bit of classic bit of New York snark.

To appear patriotic on the one year anniversary of Osama Bin Laden's death Mitt's team thought he should visit some New York firefighters with former mayor Rudy Giuliani. Romney's advisers also thought it would be a nice photo-op to grab some pizzas for his upcoming photo-op.

As Romney exited Joe's Pizza carrying a stack of pizza boxes somebody on the sidewalk shouted, "Just don't put 'em on the roof of the car," according to a tweet from Reuters reporter Sam Youngman.
